Help Paying the Bills

There are a numerous amount of government and assistant programs to help you pay the bills. We understand that you and your family may be financially struggling, so we’ve put together a list of resources to provide help during your hardship, providing many benefits, financial assistance, grants, and more.

Government mortgage and foreclosure assistance

If you need help or counseling or are interested in free mortgage or aid with foreclosure, your state or local HUD agency can help you. Find an office near you and see what benefits you can receive:http://www.hud.gov/offices/hsg/sfh/hcc/hcs.cfm

SNAP (also known as food stamps) can help you and your family buy healthy produce at the market which can tend to be expensive. With SNAP you have the chance to receive an EBT card, in which funds will be transferred to pay for your food only. You can apply at your local human services office. You can find a local snap office at: http://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/apply. You can also apply online, email or fax your application, or even apply over the phone at Project Bread’s toll-free FoodSource Hotline at 1-800-645-8333.

TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) is a federal program that grants money to low-income families to help pay for the bills, as well as other benefits. To apply, contact your local TANF office. Find one near you: http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/ofa/help
